ABSTRACT:
A parking apparatus is used for enabling the driver to move the rear end of a vehicle laterally out of a row of vehicles into a parking spot. For this purpose the vehicle is equipped with a lifting mechanism on auxiliary wheels so arranged that the rear end of the vehicle may be lifted off the ground with its ordinary wheels. The engine power may be used for this lifting of the vehicle. Once the ordinary rear wheels are off the ground the vehicle may be shifted in a direction extending substantially perpendicularly to its longitudinal axis without maneuvering as is normally required for so-called parallel parking between two vehicles spaced from each other longitudinally. The front wheels would be sharply turned in the direction toward the parking spot.
